Integrated
Systems Europe has announced that globally renowned cyber-illusionist Marco
Tempest will present the Keynote Address on the eve of ISE 2013. Titled
‘Inventing The Impossible’, Tempest’s presentation will address the use of
illusion as a creative tool and how it can be used to bring seemingly
impossible scenarios to life.
Using examples
of the magical illusion work Tempest has designed in collaboration with
engineers, animators and programmers, the Keynote will focus on the envisaging
of future technologies, the value of open-source projects and how illusion can
provide an inviting gateway to socialmedia interactivity.
“Marco Tempest
has a worldwide reputation as an inspirational speaker whose use of computer-based
imagery, augmented reality and other visual technologies is as original as it
is breathtaking,” comments Mike Blackman, Managing Director, Integrated Systems
Events. “Whether they are combining multiple projected images to create a
single animated canvas, building interactive kiosks for retail spaces or
visitor attractions, designing multi-channel sound systems or simply providing
multimedia content for installed or live applications, ISE attendees are in the
business of adding value by persuading people to suspend their disbelief.
“Marco
Tempest’s unique take on the use of illusion as a creative tool fits perfectly
with ISE’s business and technology landscape, while his commitment to
collaboration, creativity and enterprise could hardly be more topical.”
Tempest, who
is based in New York and has delivered presentations to a string of different
corporate and
institutional bodies including Google, the TED Conference and the Royal
Society, adds: “My interest in computer-generated imagery is what led me to
incorporate video and digital technology into my work as a magician, and
develop a new form of contemporary illusion. The expansion of the internet and
social media has provided more opportunities for digital illusions and
interacting with audiences, and in Amsterdam I hope to show that using these
influences in smart, creative and compelling ways can indeed allow us to ‘Invent
The Impossible.’”
Mike Blackman
concludes: “We are delighted that Marco is coming to Amsterdam to present
‘Inventing The Impossible’ on the eve of ISE 2013, and look forward to a
presentation that will amuse, entertain and inspire Europe’s professional AV
community in ways they could not have imagined.”
